  • the lower surface side corner portion 24 of the battery lid 20 is in contact with the lower surface portion 14 of the battery can body 10 at a position lower than the lower surface engaging portion 25, the battery can is inserted when the battery lid 20 is inserted. Even when 20 is in contact with the upper end of the side wall of the battery can body 10, the lower surface side corner portion 24 leads the battery lid 20 to the inside of the side wall of the battery can body 10, so Insertion restrictions occur. For this reason, there is no fear that metal foreign matter is generated by contact between the step portion 15 and the lower surface side corner portion 24.
  • the metal foreign matter generated when the battery lid 20 is inserted enters the battery can body 10 between the step portion 15 of the battery can body 10 and the lower surface engaging portion 25 of the battery lid 20.
  • the battery can body 10 is located at a position where the lower surface side corner 24 of the battery cover 20 is lower than the lower surface engaging portion 25 when the battery cover 20 is inserted into the inside of the battery can body 10 in a predetermined manner. Since the lower surface portion 14 contacts the lower surface portion 14 and the space between the lower surface side corner portion 24 and the lower surface portion 14 is closed, the metal foreign matter generated when the battery lid 20 is inserted also enters the battery can body 10 during this time. In particular, it is possible to prevent spatter generated during welding in the above-described fitting state from being scattered into the battery can body 10. Therefore, this battery can can prevent the invasion of metal foreign matter into the battery can body 10 and the scattering of the spatter as compared with the conventional example.
  • the battery can according to the second embodiment has a plurality of stepped portions 15, 15 formed on the battery can body, while a plurality of lower surface engaging portions 25 are arranged corresponding to the battery lid. It is different from the first embodiment in that it is formed. Thus, if the step portion 15 is formed in a distributed manner at a plurality of locations in the short direction, the posture stability of the battery lid 20 can be further improved.
  • a third embodiment according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Hereinafter, only differences from the first embodiment will be described.
  • a flat surface portion 41 along a direction perpendicular to the vertical direction is formed in a side wall of the battery can main body at a position below the gap g and different from the step portion 15 in the circumferential direction.
  • the lower surface portion 42 is formed from the flat surface portion 41.
  • the flat portion 41 is set to a width equivalent to the width of the gap g above it. Since the metal foreign matter and spatter are small ones that can enter the gap g, it can be expected to remain on the flat portion 41 along the direction perpendicular to the vertical direction below the gap g. Therefore, this battery can further prevent intrusion of metal foreign matters and scattering of spatter.
  • the inclination angle of the lower surface portion 42 is slightly changed with the formation of the flat portion 41. Accordingly, when the lower surface engaging portion 25 and the stepped portion 15 are in the insertion limit state in which they vertically butt, the lower surface side corner portion 24 of the battery lid does not substantially contact the lower surface portion 42 and is narrower than the gap g. It is also different from the first embodiment in that it faces the lower surface portion 42 at intervals. The facing interval is defined between the intersecting edges of the flat surface portion 41 and the lower surface portion 42, and is set sufficiently smaller than the gap g.
  • the metal foreign matter and spatter are small enough to enter the gap g, if the lower surface side corner 24 and the lower surface portion 42 are opposed to each other at a distance narrower than the gap g, the metal foreign matter or spatter is discharged from the flat portion 41 to the battery. Even if it is about to fall into the housing space of the can body, it can be caught by the lower surface side corner portion 24 to prevent entry and scattering.
  • the second embodiment and the third embodiment may be combined.
  • the stepped portion may be formed at each corner of the battery can body, and the lower surface portion may be formed only on the short side wall portion. Moreover, you may add a level
  • the fitting between the battery lid and the battery can body is not limited to the case where a gap is set, and the battery lid may be press-fitted and fitted inside the side wall of the battery can body.
  • the manufacturing equipment by generating metal foreign matter and riding on the battery cover is within the range in which the insertion of the battery cover can be guided by the lower side corners of the battery cover. Therefore, it is possible to set the fitting gap as small as possible within the range, or to set a tightening allowance for the fitting.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne une partie de surface inférieure (14) et une partie d'épaulement (15) qui sont formées dans une plage dans la direction périphérique dans laquelle un espace (g) peut apparaître entre des parties de surface côté court (22) et des parties de surface de coin (23) correspondant à un couvercle de batterie (20), parmi une paire de parties de paroi côté court (12, 12) et quatre parties de coin (13, 13, 13, 13) du corps de boîtier de batterie (10), lorsqu'elles sont en prise avec le couvercle de batterie (20). La position limite d'insertion du couvercle de batterie (20) est réglée par rapport au sens périphérique en fonction du contact entre la partie d'épaulement (15) dans une position différente de la partie de surface inférieure (14), et la partie d'engagement de surface inférieure (25) du couvercle de batterie (20). Lorsque la partie de coin côté surface inférieure (24) du couvercle de batterie (20) est en contact avec l'extrémité supérieure de la paroi latérale du corps de boîte de batterie (10), la partie de coin côté surface inférieure (24) coulisse sur l'extrémité supérieure et guide le couvercle de batterie (20) vers le côté intérieur de la paroi latérale, et entre en contact avec la partie de surface inférieure ou fait face à celle-ci (14) dans une position plus basse que la partie d'engagement de surface inférieure (25) dans la direction verticale.
